Elk Grove 4-Year-Old Struck, Killed
An Elk Grove 4-year-old was struck and killed by a passing vehicle Saturday morning as she attempted to cross a busy street, an Elk Grove police spokesman said.
Viang Many Savengsueksa was pronounced dead at the UC Davis Medical Center shortly after the accident on Spring Flower Drive and Sand Hollow Way around 9:45 a.m. Saturday, according to Elk Grove police Sgt. James Fuller.
Fuller said the child had climbed out of her family's car and was attempting to make her way across the street when she was hit by an SUV traveling eastbound. The family had just parked on the side of Spring Flower Drive on their way to a family wedding, Fuller said.
The driver of the SUV stopped and cooperated with authorities. Fuller said there was no indication that drugs, alcohol or excessive speed played a factor in the accident.
